Charles M. Squires Found Hanging Dead
 in His Room.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 2l.-Charles M. Squires an unmarried man, about 40 years old, con- mitted suicide some time between Sunday night and yesterday by hanging himself in a closet in his bedroom at the Berachah home a faith cure establishment at Mo- 102 East Sixty-frst street, where he had lived for eighteen months. He was a bookbinder, and was employed at the Bible house. Sunday evening he was in the parlor of the home, in company with many of the inmates. and ap- peared to be in unusually cheerful spirits. He left the parlor at his usual time for re- tiring, and went to his bedroom, which was on the fifth floor of the house.
 That was the last time he was seen alive Yesterday in small closet the body of squires was found. hanging by rope from a clothes hook. It was cold and stiff. De- composition had already set in, and it was evident that the man hanged himself either late Sunday night or early Monday morn ing. The people in charge of the home re- fused to give any information in relation to the suicide. Dr. Simpson told a reporter that Squires was quiet man, who was not looked upon as much of an invalid. He complained at times of pains in the head and had intervals of despondency.

 Duke of Norfolk's Mission to Rome a
 Failure-An Irish Bishop Opposes Par-
 nell in His Great Work.
 LONDON Dec 21.-The Duke of Norfolk, who went to Rome to convey to the pope the congratulations of Queen Victoria on his jubilee, has left that city, curtailing his visit, so The Paris Gaulois asserts, because of the absolute refusal of the pope to inter fere further in the relations between the Irish clergy and the people. Mgr. Ram polla, the papal secretary, the paper says, informed the duke that the pope had al- ready used his influence with the clergy, but could not ask the priests to cease to be patriots without running the risk of causing a rebellion of section of the clergy and the loss of the hold of the church on the people.
 Right Rev. Edward T. O'Dwyer, Roman Catholic Bishop of Limerick, writes to the papers accusing the Nationalist newspapers of trying to coerce Mgr. Persico and the ptp', and condemning their methods. He declares that the present guidance of the Irish agitation is politically stupid and mor- al y wrong, The bishop denies that he SUD- ported the government in an intrigue with Mgr. Persico. He admits that he approved the land agitation, but declares that he con- dcmned boycotting and the plan of cam- paign.
 MT. Clancy, M. F., speaking at O league meeting in Dublin yesterday, referred to the reports that the government intended to try to soothe the Irish by granting them Cath olic university instead of home rule, and said that the Irish spurned such bribes, and that no mess of pottage could ever induce them to abandon their birthright nation.

 BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Dec. 21-The streeta were filled last night with the largest crowd of people that ever assembled in the city on evening, the occasion being Q holiday illumination of the principal business thor oughfares. Arches have been erected over the streets at intervals of fifty feet, and these were illuminated with colored fires and gas jets, while line of Chinese lanterns over a mile in length hung over the curbstone and from one arch to another along the streets The idea originated with Jesse Sands week ago, and everybody subscribed to the fund to make the week one of display Governor Lounsbury arrived on the evening train, and was received by the mayor and banqueted at the Sterling.

SLIGHT HOPE FOR MILTON WESTON
The Board of Pardons Shows No InclinaS
 ton to Release Him.

ton to Release Him.
 HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec 2l.-At tEe session of the Pennsylvania board of parsions last night Morton Hunter, of Tittsburg, asked for tho pardon of Milton Weston on the ground that the prisoner had already suffered sufficient punishment, having been in the penitentiary nearly two years. and that his case had been prsjuiiced at the previous hearing before the beard because of the ad- mission of arguments tending to show that if justice had been meted out 10 him at his trial he would have been convicted Of mur- der in the first degree instead of man. slaughter.
 The board interrupted counsel for Weston several times because of the wide latitude he took in arguing the case, and its remarks gave him very little encouragement to hope for Q favorable decision Outside the req sons indicated nothing was submitted in the interest of a rehearing of the prisoners case
 Mrs. Hamaker, widow of the man for whose death Weston is in the penitentiary, is unrelentipg in her opposition to his pardon She has within the past few days sent a let ter to the board of pardons protesting against the extension of executive clemency 10 the alleged murderer of her husband.
 A Mrs. Jamison, of Chicago, is equally emphatic in her opposition to a pardon, seemingly because she hates Mrs. Weston, on whose character she reflects.
 Minnie Durham, of New York, has letter on file in which she opposes pardon because Weston about fourteen years ago, according to her statement, won her affections and then defrouded her out of nearly g 900.

Opposed to the Chinese.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2L.-An application for charter as Knight of Labor assembly has been received and denied by the general assembly of the order. The application came from the Chinese laundrymen of New York.

This was the first instance ill che history of the Knights of Labor in which Chinese have applied for membership in the order.
